Armory Show 2009 Part I

[boils2]

This is where Americans go to cheat on NY State Sales Tax. And Europeans go here to launder money...Such a fun group.

FANTASTIC!!!...Thank You

[LePetitSalon]

Thanks so very much...somehow I got a cold from too much air-kissing at PULSE & SCOPE and I was too sick to go to ARMORY or anything else on Sat & Sun...If it weren't for your fine videos I would have missed it all. BUT....I knew you would do a great job, as usual, on your videos. Totally grateful, snif ....more, more, more!

[channelaaa]

thanks. very impressive

[yellowfringe]

James,

Again thanks. Great video.

Did you happen to catch the name of the artist who created the photos from Regina Gallery (starting at 7:15 on the video)?

[IRIPWAX]

nice video.

[wizzlewolf]

Oh P.S. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the music!!! Keep it! :-)

[wizzlewolf]

Weird. I posted a comment earlier and it didn't show up here. I said THANK YOU for doing this vid. I had never heard of El Anatsui. I think that piece is breathtaking. I could do without the cereal. Oh well. To each his own. Thanks Mr. Kalm!

[seintzeit]

arent those by nick cave, not mike, at 4:04?

[candeaguilar]

I like the song but not with serious art, it feels like I'm about to see a horse race, I would say keep the music soft and low, I like your reporting and I want to keep watching...

[MrWowforever]

mr kalm...did you see a lot of contemporary work on the 'modern' pier or was it all older stuff?

[jameskalm]

There was contemporary stuff in the Modern section, Cecely Brown, Kieffer, Lupertz.

[MrWowforever]

thanks.......part 2 sounds good......thanks

[claureic]

Noskovsky really stands out. Thanks for the visit James. Can't wait for part2.

[jameskalm]

I'm editing Part II now, will throw in a juicy Guston just for you.

JK

[claureic]

Thanks. Very thoughtful!

[artistkeith3]

Interesting and some work is quite nice, but those acrylic organs on FOIL wrapped boards? Presentation is everything. Love all the NYr's black garments. Tres chic, they have a slimming effect.

[jameskalm]

The "foil wrapped boards" were cast polished aluminum, worked to look like foil, very tricky stuff.

[artistkeith3]

Indeed.

[robertland]

your use of music is really annoying.

keep to the reportage "DJ"

[MrWowforever]

thanks mr kalm for the view:)

[fredjhenzel]

All those collection pieces were so lame. Am I supposed to care why these two walls and this very boring robot-looking thing are made of VCR tapes? And the bottle cap sculpture just looked like an aimless, confused ripple with very bland coloring

[monkcycle]

what era is meta drawing that you refer to?

[jameskalm]

This era. I've been cronicalling the trend in and around Williamsburg for past last five years.

[RonSchira]

You are the Best!! I wanted to see this but right now, I can't get to the city and am not sure if I will be able to in the near future.

Thank you !!

[wendywhitey]
